After a trial period, Nha Trang tourist pier (in Vinh Truong Ward, Nha Trang City) officially  came into operation on May 16. The operation of the pier has gradually stabilized, serving tours to Nha Trang Bay.
 
After 2 weeks of official operation, a lot of tourist boats and canoes from Cau Da pier have moved to  Nha Trang tourist pier. Coming to Nha Trang tourist pier, we saw many visitors waiting to take boat to islands on Nha Trang Bay. A visitor from Hanoi name Nguyen Thuy Linh said “I have been traveling to Nha Trang many times. Compared to Cau Da pier, I find this new pier is well invested. It has shelters for guests to wait for boats.”
 
Mr. Le Minh Phuc - Director of Hoan Hao Tourism Co., Ltd said, after Nha Trang City People's Committee. has made decision to move all activities of Cau Da pier to Nha Trang tourist pier, his company has moved canoes to a the new wharf. Compared to Cau Da pier, Nha Trang Tourist Pier is better, with shelters for visitors and more spacious parking.

According to Mr. Tran Van Phu - Head of Nha Trang tourism pier (under the Management Board of Nha Trang Bay), up to now, more than 350 boats and canoes from Cau Da Pier, which has closed since May 16, have anchored at Nha Trang tourist pier. About 70 remaining boats will move to the new pier in the coming time. After a pause to prevent and control Covid-19 epidemic, now, tours to Nha Trang Bay (3-island tour, 4-island tour, scuba diving in Hon Mun ...) are back to normal. On average, Nha Trang tourist pier serves about 800 tourists to island tours.
 
Nha Trang tourist wharf (invested by Hon Mot Joint Stock Company, managed and operated by Nha Trang Bay Management Board) has a length of 400m along the shore and a width of 150m from the edge of the wharf bridge. The area used for implementing the project is 15,419m2, of which the area of the tourist pier is 5,562m2, the area of parking is 9,857m2. Currently, in addition to the office area, the pier also has 3 waiting  areas for travelers with a capacity of 300-500 people each. The pier can receive 10,000-12,000 passengers/day.
 
Mr. Tran Van Phu said that the new pier has just put into operation, so it also meets some problems. Currently, Nha Trang Bay Management Board is mobilizing people to relocate fishing boats to create a clear and convenient way for the tourist boats and canoes to anchor. The channeling of boats and canoes entering and leaving the port is also underway…
